Heavy rain across Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon will
bring a threat of flooding to urban areas and flood-prone creeks and
rivers. Precipitation totals will be 3 to 7 inches in the Coast
Range, Willapa Hills and Cascades, with 1 to 3 inches for the
lowlands. The heaviest rain will likely occur during the day on
Friday. Snow levels will be as high as 7000 feet during the bulk of the heavy
precipitation. Precipitation rates will diminish during the day
Saturday.
While confidence is high that we`ll see heavy rain in Southwest
Washington and Northwest Oregon, the details of timing, amounts and
specific watersheds affected are uncertain. Visit
